Troubleshooting

Hammer head feels loose

Inspect the connection between the head and the fibreglass shaft. If it appears loose, discontinue use and consider professional assessment or replacement.

Grip feels slippery

Ensure the grip is clean and free from oil, grease, or moisture. Wipe with a dry cloth. If the grip material is significantly worn, it may need replacement.

Claw not gripping nail effectively

Ensure the nail head is properly seated in the claw. Check the claw edges for excessive wear or damage. For bent nails, try to straighten them first or use a different approach.
